It was Secret Secret Sound Transmission executed Chopping Wave Saber Tiger Ji Jang-jong.

The expression on his face, which had been dumbfounded, had already changed.

His two eyes blazed like flames.

Thus, the majesty of his martial reputation as a candidate for the seat of head among the Five Elegants of Jiangxi was being nakedly revealed once again.

Indeed the demeanor of a warrior.

Earlier, when the formation had lifted, his energy sense had returned to normal.

His eyes spoke.

That it was enough, that he could still fight more.

When he operated ascending Internal energy and infused True Energy into his blade.

JING-

The blade, with nine tigers engraved upon it, emanated a tremble.

Nine Script Tiger Steel Blade.

It was a weapon made of ten-thousand-year cold iron and a treasure passed down since the first generation Leader of the Nine Tiger Blade Gang.

Ji Jang-jong’s Internal energy was added to it.

The blade and the person’s sharp Aura/Aura/bearing became one.

An extraordinary Aura.

The feeling was sharp, as if his entire body had transformed into a giant cleaver.

However, the returned Secret Sound Transmission was indifferent beyond measure.

Cheol Ryu-heun’s posture was still as relaxed as ever after that brief reply.

At that moment, Ji Jang-jong recalled.

The bold declaration Cheol Ryu-heun had thrown out earlier.

-Bring them all. I’ll crumple and destroy every single one.

‘Ha, so he truly intended that!’

Ji Jang-jong was again impressed.

That’s right.

Cheol Ryu-heun had long since detected all presences.

Knowing that and still trying to fight alone meant…

‘From the beginning, he planned to take on all the enemies! Furthermore, he possessed the power to do so!’

Once again, he keenly felt the attitude of a supreme being based on absolute martial force through Cheol Ryu-heun.

At that moment, Cheol Ryu-heun’s Secret Sound Transmission came again.

Having responded thus, Ji Jang-jong’s dark brown pupils showed a distinctive gleam.

Yes, trust him.

Leave everything to him.

Such trust was visible in his eye light.

Over sixty enemies soon charged within arm’s reach.

UREUREUREURU, UREUREUREURU, UREUREUREURU…

Gold Direction Master, whose eyes had widened, retracted the energy light of his entire body, which had been the summoning signal, and shouted.

“Strike both of them! Why are you only targeting one? Somehow leverage the numerical advantage!”

But why was it?

The Forbidden Soul Ghost Thing Bodies swiftly scattered as ordered, yet would not approach Chopping Wave Saber Tiger Ji Jang-jong at all.

As if his form was invisible to their eyes.

‘What is this…!’

Gold Direction Master was all the more flustered.

Had they all suddenly gone blind from fear?

At that moment, Ji Jang-jong quickly grasped the situation.

‘So that’s how it is!’

-Maintain an unmoving stance even if the enemy approaches near. This is not a request but an order. To finish as quickly as possible.

He now understood what those words meant.

Cheol Ryu-heun must have secretly done something to make his form invisible to them.

He wasn’t sure what method it was, though.

At that moment, the Sword Curtain was retracted, and the Gan Jiang Sword floated into the air.

DUNGSIL.

It was Sword Controlling Technique.

When Cheol Ryu-heun gestured with his hand, Gan Jiang Sword flew like a bird and pierced through the bodies of the Forbidden Soul Ghost Thing Bodies.

TUHAK, TUHAAK, TUHAK-!

Large bodies spurted blood and collapsed to the ground one by one.

After suffering large spiral penetrating wounds.

That was not the commonly known Sword Controlling Technique.

It was a movement like a fiercely spinning auger.

Moreover,

SSWAESSWAESSYANG, SSWAESSWAESSYANG-

The Sword Controlling Technique’s path had become one sword technique.

It was the Celestial Emperor Sword Path, symbolizing the martial achievements of Sword Emperor Buk Ga-shin.

The essence and application of Great Emperor Three Sword Forms, Heavenly Emperor Three Sword Forms, and Upper Emperor Three Swords were contained within the Sword Controlling Technique he executed.

Because of that, it was even harder for the enemy to evade.

Setting aside speed, they couldn’t gauge where it was aiming to fly.

The group that had numbered half was cut in half again.

Conversely, Cheol Ryu-heun’s power grew heavier and stronger by the moment.

The ground and air vibrating and wailing along the Sword Controlling Technique’s path proved that.

UREUREUNG, URUREUREUNG, URUREUNG…

Gold Direction Master’s impatience and sense of crisis reached their peak.

‘In-insane! That’s an insane bastard! That’s an insane guy! How on earth can he keep pouring out such power? Was even that rumor true? That he instantly replenishes expended energy…!’

The fear in his heart grew until it couldn’t grow any larger.

Did that guy have no limit to his use of power?

Has he achieved the Nature Assimilation Realm?

No, he possessed unprecedented power that transcended even that principle.

Before long, the Forbidden Soul Ghost Thing Body group was completely annihilated.

And the Gan Jiang Sword, its mission complete, again headed toward its owner’s hand.

CHEOLKEOK.

Having sheathed the Gan Jiang Sword, Cheol Ryu-heun said.

“How’s that, clean right?”

“Keuk…!”

Gold Direction Master’s face contorted as he bit down on his molars.

The massacre of the Forbidden Soul Ghost Thing Bodies.

Truthfully, the first, second, and third generations were consumable personnel to be used and discarded eventually.

However, he hadn’t expected to lose them so futilely like this.

At that moment, Ji Jang-jong harbored a question.

‘Why doesn’t that person run away?’

Sure enough, Gold Direction Master spoke in a low voice.

“Are you curious why I haven’t fled?”

Cheol Ryu-heun, having strode up to the front, retorted in a brusque voice.

“Not curious.”

“What…”

“I already know. Your real body is elsewhere.”

“…!”

“It’s Soul-Returning Perfect Form Technique.”

Gold Direction Master, struck at the mark, spoke with startled eyes.

“Tch… when… did you realize?”

“The moment I arrived.”

At that, Cheol Ryu-heun pointed in one direction.

“So I attached the talisman first.”

Gold Direction Master and Ji Jang-jong’s gazes turned together.

On a large boulder where Cheol Ryu-heun pointed, one blue talisman was attached.

At that moment, Gold Direction Master realized.

‘Because of that…!’

The talisman was the cause.

Both the sudden disappearance of the illusion formation and the reason the Forbidden Soul Ghost Thing Bodies couldn’t see Ji Jang-jong’s form…

“It’s a sacred talisman of an immortal technique.”

Having said that, Cheol Ryu-heun extended his hand, and.

PALLAKAPALLAK-

The talisman detached from the boulder and approached, drawn by telekinesis.

Holding that in his hand, Cheol Ryu-heun curtly threw out emotionless words.

“It seems you felt safe because it was the Soul-Returning Perfect Form Technique. But it’s a talisman of an extreme immortal path that can annihilate even the main body.”

The moment Gold Direction Master was startled.

PAPAT!

When Cheol Ryu-heun rapidly thrust out the hand holding the blue talisman, Gold Direction Master’s phantom exploded.

KWAAAAAAAANG-!
